Exceptional Music!

Melvin was a perfect fit for our wedding ceremony music. He was very easy to work with and he had great advice for the order songs should be played and when they should be played. We had an outdoor wedding ceremony, and the music was at a good volume and sounded perfect (we had a violinist as well). He certainly went the extra mile to make sure everything was organized, well rehearsed, and flowed smoothly. I would definitely recommend hiring him for any of your music needs.

Review by Gail W.

Melvin & his friend Laura played pre-service music for my wedding. Laura played the violin and Melvin play the guitar. My guests enjoyed it very much; I didn't get to hear him until I watched the video, and then I was very impressed! Definately worth the money! I would highly recommend him for any of your musical needs! He's a good teacher too!
